Butte's First Church.

Chicago Tribune: When Bishor
Worthington of Omaha was voun. man
he devoted his attention to missionary
work on the Western frontier. As can
be imagined, the experiences he enroun-
tered there were exceedingly novel and
made deep impression on the mind OF
the highly cultivated young man, fresh
from the educational institutions of the
East. The bishop, however, had the
happy faculty-so essential to men ofhis
calling-of adapting himself to Lis sur
roundings. He is capital raconteur,
and nothing delights him more than to
relate how the first church in Butte,
Mont. was built.
"At that time" said he the other day,
II was theological fledgling, but had
seen enough Of the West to know that
many kind heart was concealed by a
rough exterior, and could excuse a great
many Of the oaths uttered, as | knew
that they were used unconsciously anil
were characteristic of no profanity
Butte was then typical frontier ,wn
its principal business being gambling Ind
whisky selling. talked to the men in
plain, common-sense manner, letting
theological doctrines severely alone. At
first | didn't try to force religion down
their throats. but contented myself with
subjects of general interest to the town
told them stories to point a moral,
and, in fact, gradually won their conii-
dence. My pulpit was pine box and
the blue arch of heaven my roof. One
day the biggest gambler in town, Who
was dubbed Short Card jake called me
to one side for private conversation.
"'Parson,' said he, I kinder cotton to
yer. Yer rustler, an you've bin a
talkin' sense. Come round to my ranch
the International-to night an I'll
show yer whar yer can do some coed.
II assented to the proposition, and at
the appointed hour was at the place.
There were dozen different gambling
games in full blast, and money was
changing hands with great rapidity. My
friend Jake was dealing faro, but as
soon as he saw me he lefs h;s seat and
rushed over to where was standing.

Why does not Topeka or some leading
city in Kansas make the necessary ar
rangements for centralized banking ia
cilities of the state? At present about
if not quite all the banks in the state
keep their deposits in and do their bust
ness through banks in Kansas City. This
Missouri city which seems to have little
or no interest in Kansas except for what
she may draw from us, acts as dictator
to the state, Her papers do not appear
to seek our welfare, az like the Times Of
that city they are constantly encouraging
violations of our laws and the mob ele-
ment in our largest cities. They speak
of the state as if they held it in the
palms of their hands. Kansas should de-
clare herself free from Missouri and Kan
sas City, and there is 70 better way than
to sever this financial link by which this
Missouri city fattens at our expense.
Let Topeka effect the necessary facilities.
If not the capital city, let Leavenwarth,
Wichita, OF some Of our booming cities
lead in this directie9. Why build and
strengthen the hands Of 0It eDepiessE

MONEY EASIER.

Dun's weekly trade review reports
money getting easier in the local markets
in the east. 1t says the U. S. treasury
purchasers cannot wholly remove the
consequence of short crops, harmful
speculation or hasty development of
the change of action into fixed capital.
The gold imports continue but there are
no exports. The tendancy of money is
to advance prices in all markets on &C.
count Of treasury disbursements, but the
shortness of crops and the ABSORPTION of
money into fixed forms must still have
some influence.
The Leavenworth Times says as follows
on the incubus of business:
The stringency in the New York mon
ey market is caused solely by the demand
for money, to be used for mere blackleg
speculation in stocks and other gambling
properties. There is more money now
in the country than there ever was before.
There is enough to establish general
bank rate of per cent interest on good
commercial paper, with a lower street
rate and lower rate for loans secured by
first class real estate mortgages. But the
enormous volume of business in mere
speculative values conducted on cash
margins, sequesters away from legitimate
business so much money as to create per-
iods of close stringency like that which
now holds Wall street in its grasp.
The trading in stocks in New York City
last week amounted to 1900, 900 shares,
worth at their par value 1920, 900, 600.
Margains Of at least 10 per cent are re-
quired on stock deals. In these trans
actions, therefore, the sum of at least
s12, OOO, 900 was locked up and withdrawn
from business, and the amount was prob.
ably much greater.
The amount of money similarly locked
up in speculative transactions involving
grain, oil, provisions and other commodi-
ties must be very great, possibly as great
as that locked up in stocks.
This is the incubus that rests on the
trade and industry of the country. 1t
creates money stringency, cripples legiti
mate enterprise and places periodically in
peril every business industry of the
country.
